I had to share a beautiful email message I received this morning from the parents of the bride, Chris and Steve, whose daughter I photographed on the weekend. The wedding of Jen and Pat was a truly special day and one that will stay with me for years to come – I’ll add some more photos of this emotion filled happy, happy day, once I have had a chance to sort through all the photos.
Here’s the message:
Dear Andrew,
Steve & I just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work on Saturday at Jenny & Pat’s wedding.
No matter how much planning and attention to detail goes into the preparation for a wedding, at some point you have to hand over the responsibility to other people. We were so fortunate that you made such a positive contribution to their day. You were highly recommended to us by a close & trusted personal friend who had used you for commercial work and we are so glad we took her advice.
I loved the way you instinctively tuned into those who were more nervous than others and instantly gained their confidence and how skilful you were at ‘blending in’. I know that you must have taken some amazing shots of the smiles from our beautiful girl and her new husband.
Thank you again and please know that the recommendations will keep coming from us,
Yours truly,
Chris & Steve Ahearn.

The speech from Pat had everyone and I mean everyone wiping their eyes in one of the very best speeches I have ever heard from a new husband at a wedding
